What Are the Emerging Concerns in Pathogenic Microorganism Epidemiology?
Emerging concerns in the epidemiology of pathogenic microorganisms include the increasing incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the potential for zoonotic diseases to spill over into human populations, and the impact of globalization on disease spread. The emergence of novel pathogens, such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, highlights the need for robust surveillance and rapid response mechanisms to mitigate the impact of future outbreaks.
